THe DVD/CD writer all of a sudden does not write to a dvd, although a few months ago it did just fine. I have a teac dvd+rw dv-w58e in a Dell 4600. I have unistalled and reinstalled it. I have restored back a few months and it still is not working. I can't write to cd's either. The computer knows the drive is there. It always says insert disk even thought the disk is now and it is a dvd+R. All I want to do is place some pictures on a dvd. Thank you
